Can someone please change the description above?
MIDI is not a powerfull protocol. At all.
In fact, it is realy crappy and pretty stupid/simple.
It has been around since the ‘70s because all the synth manufacturers could/can not decide on a common standard(!! boohoo)
For the last 20 years or so there have been many attempts to bring synth communication to modern levels but all have failed because of propietryness.
And that is why MIDI is still relevant.
It is a sad story realy.
